Default Excessively high idle with choke?

Hi all, the bike (2007 EC250) is running very well now with an N3EH on the 2nd clip and 178/42 jets. Starts 1st kick hot or cold and no excessive smoke or spooge. Idles nicely when warm.

It does, however, idle really high from a cold start and then after about 30 seconds it drops down to a normal slow idle. The throttle cable is free and does not appear to stick and the choke unit has been removed and appears in good condition.

A quick google shows that this is common on some other 2T bikes but the conclusion seems to be that it is normal?


Any thoughts on why the choke idle is excessive and why it slows down after a short while?

ps.. it did not do this with the original carb set up.
